Judge William Adams, who made national headlines after the release of a 2004 video of him beating his then-teenage daughter, has been suspended by the Texas Supreme Court.

The reason for the action was not mentioned in an order of suspension that was made public Tuesday.

Adams, a court-at-law judge in Aransas County, was roundly criticized when his now-adult daughter posted online a video of him beating her with a belt when she was 16.

The video also showed the judge cursing and berating Hillary Adams.

1. Good

At least the wretched monster had some consequences for his actions. I hope the mother suffers some from it as well, she was certainly cheerleading dear old dad in his depravity.

2. Happy Thanksgiving, Judge! Can't believe that asshole sat on a Family Court bench--or any bench. NT

3. It's a paid vacation

That's how the 1% treats one another. Beat the shit out of your own daughter on tape as a sitting judge: paid vacation. Mace and baton college kids as a cop: paid vacation.

4. Didn't the daughter also have MS or something?

I believe one of the news shows reported she did.

[Little Star]

6. Yes. She was diagnosed with MS and the judge says he doesn't believe..

that she has it.

He is a disgusting person and his wife is not much better.

8. good riddance, control freak creep

9. This wretched abuser blamed his daughter...

...for his actions and made some remark about her being the problem.

Any child who is physically abused and verbally assaulted like that--should be a problem. Does hit
piece of shit understand that most people in prison and nearly all serial killers--were abused as
children? When kids are violated by the very people on whom they are completely dependent--they
start to act out. Suprise, suprise---someone with a rage-addicted abuser for a father, has some qwirks.

Abusers are never to blame. Everyone, including the victim--is magically responsible for
forcing them to hit, emotionaly abuse and traumatize children. They'll analyze the victim
and spend so much time looking for reasons that what they did was ok.

If abusers spent just one or two minutes, out of denial and dealing with the reality--that they
are cowardly abusers--the world would be a much better place.

This guy is getting exactly what he deserves.
